What to do when you can't think of a puzzle? Steal someone else's statement, of course! This one is from a Jondahr puzzle this past August; the solution is different, of course. "Thank God, I'm saved!" And then he died. | ||

Based on a true story? If so, something recent? A historical event? FYOI? FSEI? he - H/A/M? Did he say "Thank God, I'm saved!"? Did he think it? Did someone else say it? Did he die of natural causes? Was he killed? | ||

Did someone else say it? YOPE Did he die of natural causes? Was he killed? This Sorry for all the Yopes, but there's a reason for them. | ||

Did something else say it for him? Did this person have Locked-In syndrome and had just had a computer hooked up in order to facilitate speech? Is this person also a witness to a crime? And the criminal was waiting to see if they would "wake up" and testify against them? When it happened the criminal killed him? | ||

Saved as in rescued from peril? or in the 'found jesus' sense? No to all I am going to add clarification to the Yopes: "He" is a fictional character from a video game, and the "Yope-He" was the person in real life controlling him. It is the video game character who died. Hope that helps. From now on, assume all "he"s refer to the video game character. | ||

So, the player said "Thank God I'm saved"? And then the video game character died? Would it help to find out what kind of video game we're talking about? | ||

Was the video game character killed by another character in the game? If so, human character? an animal? Or was he killed by an object in the game? | ||

Hmmm... Could you maybe give us a hint? | ||
| Balin (Balin)
New member Username: Balin Post Number: 17587 Registered: 4-2010 |
Hmmm... Could you maybe give us a hint? Sure. RECAP: "Thank God, I'm saved!" And then he died. "He" is a character in a first-person-shooter video game. He nearly died before another character killed him with the aid of an object. HINT: The character's death was an accident, and would have been an accident had he not survived when he "nearly died." | ||

Is the relevant object bigger than a hand? a book? the famous bread box? a chair? a car? a house? Is it made of [LTPF list of materials]? Was the other character carrying the object? Did the object explode? Did the character trip over the object? Was he hit by it? Did the other character die as well? Should we find out more about the game? If so... Is it a recent game (post-2010)? From the 2000s? 1990s? For PC? console? | ||

Is the relevant object bigger than a hand? a book? the famous bread box? a chair? a car? No, because it is a car (or a car-like vehicle -- let's just call it a car) a house? Is it made of [LTPF list of materials]? Was the other character carrying the object? No Did the object explode? Did the character trip over the object? Was he hit by it? This Did the other character die as well? No Should we find out more about the game? Not really relevant If so... Is it a recent game (post-2010)? From the 2000s? 1990s? For PC? console? I can just tell you. It is one of the Halo games. | ||

Actually, the game type (FPS) is somewhat relevant to the puzzle. | ||

So the other character ran over the character with a car, right? Just after he had nearly died, right? | ||

So the other character ran over the character with a car, right? Just after he had nearly died, right? Yes. You now need to know how he nearly died, and a little more info about the other character. | ||

PRE-WEEKEND RECAP: "Thank God, I'm saved!" And then he died. A character in a first-person shooter video game (one of the Halo games) nearly died -- the game type is relevant to this -- but survived. He was then promptly run over by another character driving a car. You need to know: -Something about the character who killed him. -How he nearly died. | ||

The character who killed him: A friend? An enemy? Relevant which of the Halo games it is? When he nearly died: By another player? By the environment? Accidentally? Apologies if any of those questions are just totally idiotic in relationship to Halo games, my only experience with them was when I was about eight and I pressed the 'X' button on the controller to reload the guns for my dad. I nicknamed all the bad guys after vegetables, because that's what they looked like. | ||

The character who killed him: A friend? This. Now all you need to know is how he nearly died. An enemy? Relevant which of the Halo games it is? No When he nearly died: By another player? Part of it was this... By the environment? What do you mean by this? Accidentally? ...but most of it was this. | ||

Is there an object involved in his nearly dying? a weapon? a vehicle? | ||
| Balin (Balin)
New member Username: Balin Post Number: 17642 Registered: 4-2010 |
Is there an object involved in his nearly dying? Yes a weapon? Not the relevant object, see below a vehicle? No You've got a good chunk of this. I will give a HINT: He was wounded to almost zero health by a weapon before he nearly died. | ||
| Balin (Balin)
New member Username: Balin Post Number: 17668 Registered: 4-2010 |
And you are ALMOST done. Here's the timeline of the near-death: -He is wounded to almost no health by a player with a weapon. -Something happens accidentally that should have killed him, but didn't. | ||

New member Username: Balin Post Number: 17695 Registered: 4-2010 |
HINT: Something happens accidentally that should have killed him, but didn't. -It would kill a person in real life too. | ||

Falling damage? Yes. Did he get knocked off a ledge/cliff? By a grenade? RPG? Title relevant? Only in that "Spartans" are playable characters in Halo. Did he get kicked off the ledge? **********SPOILER********** In a game of Halo: Reach, two players were fighting on top of a tower. One of them was heavily damaged to almost zero health, then fell off the tower. Somehow, he hit the ground at an angle that allowed him to survive. He then took three steps and was promptly run over by one of his teammates. Video: the clip starts at about the 2:47 mark. Nice work everyone, and kudos to Dlcygnet for getting the last bit. New puzzle shortly. |
